Next stop Cheltenham for Hussard Collonges

Hussard Collonges, who sidestepped a trip to Ireland today, will not have another outing before the Tote Cheltenham Gold Cup but will make a couple of racecourse visits as part of his Festival build up.

Peter Beaumont had considered taking on Beef Or Salmon and company with his 2002 Royal & SunAlliance Chase hero in the Hennessy Cognac Gold Cup at Leopardstown today.
